After 9...Qb6 your d4-pawn is doubly-attacked. d5 simply shifts the
attack to your b2 pawn. 10.e5 would be a good defense, and 10.Qf3 would
counter-attack.

What about 20.e5, pushing pawns on the files your rooks control?

32.h4 was a blunder, losing a pawn. Black has passed pawns on the a-,
c-, and h-files while you have none. This endgame is completely lost.

10.Qf3 looks dubious. 10... O-O and then what? I can't tell if 10.e5
is good or not because I can't evaluate 10... d6.

I think the problem here is 6.d4?!, which opens the long diagonal and
turns Black's relatively passive Bg7 into a strong piece. Black
clearly wants the diagonal opened but he should have to pay for this
by being made to play d5 or f5. 6.d3 looks better to me.

Looks worth a try. The position here rather resembles something from
a Benko gambit, except that it's White who's down a pawn instead of
Black, which can't be good. :-)
